Topic: GE profile refrigerator not freezing (Read 7398 times)

i have a problem with a GE profile refrigerator,model TFG27PFX[a] . the refrigerator seems ok, but freezer side does not freeze. the display shows an error code PF. It continues running with the error but no freezing. after running for about 5 hours i found the bottom coil had frosted , but not the upper.can someone please help me on this .and how to get technical data for this model. and if possible error codes.Thanks in advance

Check the condenser fan motor beside the compressor. If the compressor is running the fan motor must be running. If the compressor and fan motor are both running you may have a refrigerant leak or weak compressor.

Clean up the coils and feel the compressor if it is hot as fire you could have a bad compressor relay. Make sure the fan is running full blast and not slowing down. The trickling sound could be the fan motor going out.

Can you get A-1 line tap and some gauges with a 12oz can of R134A? That can holds enuff stuff to do 3 or 4 ice boxes. Sand down the LOW SIDE copper line before installin the saddle valve. The kit comes with a pin. You place that pin on the schrader and then screw down the cap that comes with the kit till it pierces the tubing (if you overtighten the damn thang then the schrader won't retract and all the friggin gas will escape NO GOOD do not over tighten) Then after the install see if you hear a hiss. Press the spring loaded schrader valve with your finger nail to see if the system is under pressure. A hiss means you still have gas in it and that is good! If it has some in it that means yall can add a little. I mean a little. SLOWLY add a TAD till them fins frost over that evap. NEVER let the suction pressure exceed 5PSI when charging. When adding never let the pressure go over the 10 PSI mark. This is critical! OR yall could buy a fugging thousand dollar outfit to charge the exact amount Just take your time and add a tiny amount. Don't let no air get in the system and Party on
